Jade Leung worked for OpenAI from 2021 to 2023. You would expect her to have shares, worth a lot of money - which will get more valuable if OpenAI remains only lightly regulated.
Now she is the Prime Minister’s AI Adviser in No 10 - advising on AI regulation.

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

There's nothing in the definition of the word "impartial" that implies the necessity of equal measures of praise and criticism on every individual or party. "Impartial" means that journalists don't allow personal or organisational sentiment to undermine their responsibility to tell the truth.

One thing not being said - indeed, I think everyone misses this - but the requirement for the BBC to show impartiality and balance relates to the politics of *this* country, there’s no requirement to show some mythical balance globally, only to report the truth without fear or favour.

Its decision to leave the Tory appointees in post at the BBC is one of so many Labour have made that I can't begin to understand. Any guesses?

Basically I can announce that I’ve got a trillion dollar pay deal if I, er, make a trillion dollars.
Ok, but Tesla is currently at 7.2 million sales in 9 years, sales have slowed down and to make the first step towards his trillion dollar salary he needs to sell 20 million cars. I don’t think any of this is going to happen.

Yeah, slight issue with this. The individual in question made a claim that they were trafficked. That means they didn't pay up front. That means that payment is taken via long term exploitation via gangs, gangs which the Home Secretary just returned them to. Slow clap.

If parties want credit for telling hard truths, they need to tell them when they're genuinely hard.
If Labour had told the truth about taxes & the costs of Brexit before the election, its majority would be smaller.
But it would have more real power & the public would put more faith in its judgment

She is telling an accurate story of recent history - the triple punch of austerity, Brexit and covid. It's spot on. But it is terribly strange to say it now in government when you were not prepared to say it in opposition.
